• But one thing is clear, and this applies to both men and women: you need to be having sex regularly if you don't want to lose the ability.
• less than once a week at the start of the study were twice as likely to develop erectile dysfunction
• three or more times a week lowered their risk fourfold.
• menopausal women who had sex every week had oestrogen levels twice as high as their abstaining counterparts.
• having more sex can decrease the risk of vaginal atrophy which can occur with age
• In fitness terms, it's equivalent is going for a mile-long walk or climbing up and down two flights of stairs.
• three times a week could actually halve the risk of heart attack or stroke.
• Sexually active women in longterm relationships were less likely to be depressed than women who went without sex,
• Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of immunoglobulin A, or IgA, a substance found in saliva and the nasal lining thought to help our immune systems fight colds and flu.
• those who made love more often had 30 per cent higher levels.
• those who had sex less than once a month had double the risk of dying prematurely than those who had sex twice a week.
• 'Unless a man has a low sperm count, the more often he has sex, then the better the quality of his sperm.'
• 'When it comes to sex for fertility, having sex little and often  -  at least every other night  -  is far better than lots of it on infrequent occasions.'
• A study last year from University College London found that those in their late 30s and 40s were least likely to use condoms with new partners.

  • I wonder how many of these people have been mostly monogamous.
